On the trading deadline in February this year, the Warriors packaged Wiggins + Lee Kyle + Schroder + a protected first-round pick to exchange Butler from the Heat.

So Wiggins was forced to leave the Warriors who had been playing for many years and brought his talent to Miami. He started all 17 games for the Heat in the regular season, averaged 32.1 minutes per game, scored 19 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 breaks, with a shooting percentage of 45.8%, 36% and 73.1% in three events, including a single game with a shooting percentage of 76.2% (16 of 21 shots) and hit 42 points.

However, in the playoffs, Wiggins lost himself, averaged 30.5 minutes per game, scoring only 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 caps, with three shooting percentages of 37.2%, 35% and 70%. In the end, the Heat Eastern Conference was swept 4-0 by the Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs.

It is precisely because of the poor performance in the playoffs that the Heat have the idea of ​​trading Wiggins. A few days ago, the famous reporter Siegel bluntly stated that the 14th No. 1 pick is unlikely to appear on the Heat's roster next season. The contract currently being executed by Wiggins expires in the summer of 2027, with annual salary of US$28.22 million and US$30.17 million respectively in the next two seasons. There is no shortage of teams that are interested in taking over him. For example, Buha believes that it is very suitable for the Lakers and can fill the gap in the wing position of the Purple and Gold Legion.

The US media "FW" directly listed a trading plan that was enough to sensation the NBA, as follows:

The Lakers won Wiggins + 24th first-round 15th pick big center Claire Weill; the Heat won Morant; the Grizzlies got Reeves + Finney Smith (sign first and then exchange) + two first-round picks.

Of course, the reason why the deal came true could shock the entire NBA is because it involved two-time All-Star guard Morant. Wiggins, who failed to realize his talent, could only be considered a big shot.

So far, Wiggins' NBA career player total salary has reached US$221 million. He was selected as the All-Star and won the championship with the Warriors. In fact, he has no regrets. From now on, he can play on his own and enjoy the basketball life that is most in line with his mentality. What else can you say about

? Wish Wiggins good luck, and it is best to see him re-wearing in the Warriors' robe one day!
